1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored membrane proteins of Saccharomyces cerevisiae exist with two types of lipid moiety--diacylglycerol or ceramide--both of which contain 26:0 fatty acids. To understand at which stage of biosynthesis these long-chain fatty acids become incorporated into diacylglycerol anchors, we compared the phosphatidylinositol moieties isolated from myo-[2-(3)H]inositol-labelled protein anchors and from GPI intermediates. There is no evidence for the presence of long-chain fatty acids in any intermediate of GPI biosynthesis. However, GPI-anchored proteins contain either the phosphatidylinositol moiety characteristic of the precursor lipids or a version with a long-chain fatty acid in the sn-2 position of glycerol. The introduction of long-chain fatty acids into sn-2 occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and is independent of the sn-2-specific acyltransferase SLC1. Analysis of ceramide anchors revealed the presence of two types of ceramide, one added in the ER and another more polar molecule which is found only on proteins which have reached the mid Golgi. In summary, the lipid of GPI-anchored proteins can be exchanged by at least three different remodelling pathways: (i) remodelling from diacylglycerol to ceramide in the ER as proposed previously; (ii) remodelling from diacylglycerol to a more hydrophobic diacylglycerol with a long-chain fatty acid in sn-2 in the ER; and (iii) remodelling to a more polar ceramide in the Golgi.
